MACHINE FOR LEVl-ILING MILLSTONES AND TRAMMING SPINDLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 224,812, dated February24, 1880.

Application filed December '8, 1879.

To all whom at may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVE) E. BAUGHEY, of St. Thomas, in the county ofFranklin and State of Pennsylvania, have inventedcertain new and usefulImprovements in Machines for Leveling Millstones and-Tramming Spindles;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, which will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specij the same;and it consists in certain improvements in the construction of theparts, which Will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularlypointed out in the claims.

In the drawings hereto annexed, Arepresents the bed-stone, and B thespindle, which is journaled in the usual manner in the bridgetree 0. i

D represents a cylindrical tube, provided on four sides with set-screwsE, by which the said tube or cylinder may be adjusted and firmly securedupon the upper end of the millspindle.-

The tube. D is provided at its upper end with radial flanges F F,supporting a disk or plate, G, of sufficient size and strength tosupport the runner-stone while the bed-stone is being leveled and thespindle trammed.

The plate G is provided with slots H H, ex-

' tending from near the center in diametricallyoppositedirections.

I I are clamps sliding in the said slots, and provided upen the underside of plate G with plates J J, slidingin suitable grooves or guides,and having set-screwsK K, by which the said plates and clamps may besecured in any desired position.

The plate G is provided with an opening, L,

below which slides a plate, M, adjustable by a set-screw, N, and formingan adjustable bearing for a vertical rod, 0, having at its upper end ahandle, P, and provided at its lower end' with a screw-thread, so as tobe vertically adjustable in an arm or bracket, Q, projecting laterallyfrom the tube or cylinder D. Below the bracket Q, and connected to thelatter by a vertical rod, R, is another bracket, S.

Upon the rod It is adjusted a spring, T, which serves to press a socket,U, sliding upon said rod, in an upward direction against the lower endof the adjustable rod 0, by which the said socket may thus be adjustedvertically to any desired position.

The socket U is provided with a horizontal arm, V, adjustable by aset-screw, W, and provided at its outer end with a slot, X, in which aslotted arm, Y, is horizontally and vertically adjustable by athumb-screw and nut, Z A:

The arm Yhas at its lower end aholder, B, in which the pointed whaleboneO, which serves as a trainniing and leveling tool, is adjustable by aset-screw, D.

E E F represent the supports for a swinging crane, G, by which therunner-stone may be lifted upon or off the machine.

The operation of my invention will be readily understood by thoseskilled in the art to which it appertains. It is simple, efficient,inexpensive, and easily operated; and it will be observed that while themachine is in use, owing to the arrangement of the plate G, the weightof the runner-stone is supported on tirely upon the bridge-tree, as whenthe mill is running, thereby preventing any damage to the floor, wherethe stoueis usually deposited, and also any deviation from the level andtram when the stone is replaced for operation.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent of the United States-- set-screws E, brackets Q S, androd R, having spring T, with the socket U, having arm 5 V and start Y,and the threaded rod 0, working in bracket Q, all combined and operatingsubstantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

2. In a device for leveling millstones com structed substantially asdescribed, the comown I have hereto affixed my signature in bination ofthe tube D, adapted to be adjusted presence of two witnesses. upon thespindle with the disk or plate G secured at the upper end of said tube,to support DAVID BAUGHEY' 5 the runner-stone during the operation of theWitnesses:

machine, as set forth. HIRAM BYERS,

'In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my EDWIN C. PATTON.
